| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: All projects are executed at single location i.e. at ESAC, Inc., Rockville, Maryland. Hence location is not an influencing factor.)
Customer (Not Relevant: Projects are executed for single federal agency (HHS). Hence customer is not an influencing factor.)
Size (Not Relevant: EASC processes do not vary and do not differentiate projects based on size. There is no variation in the work performed by the projects based on the team size. Hence size is not an influencing factor.)
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: Federal Services Unit is organized as a single unit. Projects are executed in the same unit. Hence organizational structure does not influence process.)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: Projects are of software development & support in nature. Hence Type of Work is not an influencing factor.)
Life cycle: (Relevant: Two agile life cycles (Scrum and Custom Lean Agile) are used in the OU. Custom Lean Agile involves activities such as outreach, feasibility analysis, developing standards, which are not part of Scrum life cycle. Hence life cycle influences process.) |
